Hawaii Pacific Teleport (HPT) connects global businesses through a network of satellites and fiber optic cables from North America to the Indian subcontinent. Unlike American mainland teleports, HPT can ‘see’ all the Asia-Pacific orbital slots between 128E and 165E. There are currently five Asian satellites with spot beams on Hawaii and HPT is the only FCC-licensed teleport with antennas pointed at three of those. This coverage enables HPT to serve customers located as far west as Pakistan and in all countries eastward to Hawaii plus customers in Australia, New Zealand, and many Pacific Islands.
